Excitement in Mexico Over the Report
That Don Carlos Has Been Invited There
to Kick Up q Revolution.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 29.-The report
published in American papers of plot Of
the Church party leaders to bring Don
Carlos here to head movement against
the Government has attracted much at
tention among politicians here, al
though little has been heard of the
matter. In Government circles
it is declared that the country has never
been more peaceful than to-day. Active
railway construction is going on on two
important railways, and work is soon
to begin on the uncompleted section
Of the trunk line of the National
railway. The only disturbance known
Is among the wild Indians in Yucatan; but
there is always more or less trouble with
them. Heavy Investments Of English
capital are being made in mines, and an
extension Of banking facilities to interior
towns is about to be made. A leading
statesman said to-day that never before
was Mexico so averse to revolutions or
plottings as at this time, and that the
people most Of all desired peace. =

A MARROW ESCAPE.

Man Standing on Top OF u Smokestack
at the American Wire Works ls Shot by
Fellow Workman.
CLEVELAND, o., May 27.-For two days
past the police OF the Euclid avenue sta
tion have been investigating shooting
affray which occurred at the American
Wire Works last Sunday morning. The
officials and workmen at the wire mills re-
fuse to give any information concerning the
affair, and Thursday morning an officer was
detailed to go to the works and demand q
report of the affair from the superintend-
ent. The patrolman learned that Sunday
morning George Knierin and F. Horton
were engaged in placing lightning rod on
the snokestack Of the works. Horton was
standing on the top of the stack, 105 feet
from the ground, when he saw black
smith employed at the works named Jack
son run into house near by and return in
moment with gun. Jackson deliberate
ly took aim at the man standing on the
stack and fred Two buckshot penetrated
Horizons cap and one buckshot passed
through his chin intiicting a wound that is
not considered dangerous. Horton, when
shot, lost his foothold and fell, but retained
sufficient presence Of mind to grapple ut
everything that might break his fall, and
finally managed to hold fast to scaffold
where he clung until rescued. Jackson
and Horton have been good friends, and
the latter cannot account for the assault
The affair was hushed up and no arrests
have been made.

DELICATE SURGERY.
A Burglar Passes Through a Severe
Experience.
Large Piece Of Glass Removed From His
Windpipe.

CosHocToN, o., May 27--Jacob Miller,
who is confined in the county jail here for
burglarizing store at Evansburg few
nights ago,.passed through a severe exper-
ience during. the past few days. Last Sun
day, while stretched on a couch in his cell,
q fragment Of broken bottle, as large as q
silver half-dollar, which he was holding in
his teeth, slipped down and lodged in his
gullet The piece Of glass was sharp.
poipted, and Millcr's sufferings were
indescribable. Twice he was plac-
ed under the influence Of q
powerful anesthetic while attempts were
being made to dislodge the obstruction.
At last HIS physicians determined to un-
dertake the difficult and hazardous opera
alton known as psophagotomy. Miller
was made fully acquainted with the dam
gers Of the operation, and the possibilities
of his dying during its progress. He was,
however, anxious to assume the risk,
knowing full well that by the operation
he had IA chance for life, while it was
sure death II the obstruction was
not removed. Yesterday afternoon
the physicians succeeded in removing the
cause Of Miller's sufferings, by cutting a
cash four inches long in the side of the
neck, and opening, the nsophagus, where
the piece Of glass was found firmly i'm
bedded among the membranes Of that worry
important tube in mans anatomy. This
morning Miller is in good spirits, and, II
Inflammation can be repressed, his physi-
clans give it as their opinion that he will
fully recover from the terrible ordeal.

KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN.
John Vanderburg, Shot by Miss Anderson's
Brother, the Wrong Person.

ROCKVILLE, Mo-, May 28.-The shooting
to death of John vanderburg in the court
room yesterday during his preliminary ex-
animation on the charge of outraging Jen-
ME Anderson,is now believed to have beOn
a horrible mistake, and Notwithstanding
the victim of some mans lust identified
Vanderburg as the man, yet her indentifi-
cation was of that uncertainty that usually
fixes crime on the first person arrested.
Vanderburg was cooking for q camping
party, four miles from the scene of tho
outrage, at 3 o'clock that afternoon, and at
s he was again in camp. The coroner's Jury
censured the judge for not disarming and
watching the Anderson boys and Ed. Evans,
from whom something desperate was ex-
pected, and they brought in verdict of
murder against Lint Anderson and Ed.
Evans. The testimony shows that con-
stables were watching these men. but
were thrown off their guard by their COM
posed manner while the judge was re-
viewing the testimony. Scarcely had he
pronounced "Hold the defendant in $4,000
bond" than Lint. Anderson had sent two
shots through Vanderburgh's body, and
Ed. Evans fired two more. Friends Of the
murdered man have been found, and
declare that they will prosecute to the
end.

THREATENS TO STRIKE.
Ensiand's High Execut,.oner Has ariev-

ancA
LONDON, May 26.--England's Lord High
Executioncr, more generally known as
the Public Hangman, has q grievance
which he Is forcing upon the attention of
the Secretary Of State for Home Affairs,
and ho has actually gone 40 far as to
threaten to strike unless prompt atten-
tion Is given 10 his case. Under the old
regulations In force at Newgate Prison,
"Jack Ketch," as tho hangman has been
nicknamed for couple of centuries,
received salary of five dollars per
week from the corporation In addition
to fee OF fifty dollars for each swing
ing at which he officiated. Since the pass
age Of the new prisons act, however, Ao
hangman's perquisites in the shape OF
permanent retainers have been abolished,
and, as matter of fact, there is now no
authority which has any control over him,
although there is general understanding
that he has monopoly Of the business Of
ushering criminals into the great beyond.
But the executioner has conceived the idea
that his position should be officially recog-
nized by the Homo Office, and SO he has
made formal demand that the name
''John Berry" be placed upon the list Of
the civil servants of the Crown. Whei it
is remembered that this list includes some
hundreds Of Earls and Dukes, Cabinet
Minister'S, poet laureate, and other dis
tinguished people too numerous to men.
tion, the shock which the audacious de-
mand has created in aristocratic society
can be understood. Berry, however, is in
real earnest, and as there are half dozen
murderers to be hung in different sections
of the country during the next six weeks,
and nobody to hang them unless Berry is
placated, the officials at the Home Office
are in quandary.

and pictures demolished in several

themselves, and did not go to bed again.
Reports received to-day by Governor Ceb-

any fatalities as tho result Of the earth

towns report about the same sensations
as were felt by the inhabitants Of
the metropolis. At the School OF
